I am currently running a 8" imaging newt on my NEQ6Pro mount and it's probably under the imaging capacity limit of that mount (the OTA alone only weighs 10kg, and I reckon its about 13kg all up setup for imaging) . Does anyone have any direct experience with say a 10" f5 (1250mm fl) imaging newt on a NEQ6? I hear the imaging limit is 18kg and the bare 10" f5 OTA I am considering weighs 15kg out of the box (or so the supplier says), and once I add the long top and bottom dovetails I want, and the Canon 450D, the Baader Coma Corrector, 60mm guidescope, and ASI130 guide camera I think I would be just over the 18kg mark. I guess I could save a little weight, if I went for the shorter 10" f4 version of this OTA, but I prefer the f5 for ease of collimation and less coma.

Experiences? Advice on this setup?
